After five years of a cold marriage, I can no longer hide the child I secretly gave birth to.

Zhou Yanci nodded and left with Xu Jiaojiao and Wen Yayun.

Upon arriving in the courtyard, Xu Jiaojiao looked at Zhou Yanci with slight dissatisfaction, feigning a coquettish tone, "Aci, Dai Kui seems to really like children, and that little girl is incredibly attached to her. I suddenly think having a child wouldn't be bad, what do you think?"

She and Zhou Yanci are a handsome couple; if they could have a baby soon, whether it's a boy or a girl, it would definitely be very beautiful.

Seeing that the man remained silent when she asked, Xu Jiaojiao looked at Wen Yayun and asked, "Auntie, do you like children? If Aci has a baby in the future, it will definitely be very beautiful."

Xu Jiaojiao practically confessed her relationship with Zhou Yanci.

Wen Yayun understood what she meant and gave a stiff smile.

"I really like it. You and Yan Ci are both so good-looking, your future children will definitely be good-looking too."

These words made Xu Jiaojiao very happy. She was so pleased that she didn't press the matter further and simply smiled as she saw them out of the hospital.

He then dialed Li Xuelan's number.

There's no reason why Xu Jiaojiao's person or possessions should be taken over by an illegitimate daughter since childhood.

Even though she has a sure win now, she still has to be wary of Xu Daikui.

...

Maybach.

Wen Yayun looked at her son, who was focused on driving and had a gloomy expression, with a complicated look on her face.

"What's the story with that little girl? Who gave birth to her?"

A few days ago, Zhou Yingying posted a photo in the family group chat of Zhou Yanci bringing back a little girl in the middle of the night. The group chat exploded with comments saying that the child was born to Zhou Yanci and Xu Jiaojiao abroad.

But she knew very well that her son was not the kind of person to act recklessly.

Even if he deeply loved Xu Jiaojiao, he would never have an illegitimate daughter with someone else while still married to Xu Daikui, especially since the child was so old.

Wen Yayun recalled the night Zhou Yanci and Xu Daikui spent in the hotel a month before he left the country.

Almost all of their bedroom photos were dug up by paparazzi.

The incident happened so suddenly that the two of them definitely didn't have time to put on a condom.

Could it be that the child was born to Xu Daikui?

"She is a relative of Shen Jun's."

"Dr. Shen?"

Wen Yayun, who was frequently taking medication and hospitalized, naturally recognized Shen Jun.

"Then why would your wife take care of her? Because she hit someone?"

She noticed that the child's features resembled Xu Daikui's somewhat.

"Are you sure the child really has nothing to do with Xu Daikui?" she added.

"Yes. She and Shen Jun are close."

Zhou Yanci's decision was actually uncertain.

He dared not think too deeply about this child.

Only ambiguous answers are possible.

Wen Yayun felt a moment of disappointment.

She longed so much to have a grandchild.

She has always been in poor health, but her eldest and second sons are both disappointing. One insisted on settling abroad, and the other married someone he didn't like. Her youngest son is only eighteen years old.

When will she finally be able to hold her grandson?

Although Xu Daikui doesn't hold a prominent position, if she could prove herself and give the Zhou family a son or daughter, she wouldn't necessarily refuse to accept her as a daughter-in-law.

Can....

She sighed, then asked curiously, "Since the child belongs to the Shen family, why were you so protective of her just now? And why did you bring her home to spend the night?"

Her son is generally aloof and would never meddle in other people's business to help a child who is not related to her.

Zhou Yanci remained silent.

Seeing that he remained silent, clearly refusing to answer, Wen Yayun could only change the subject in frustration, "Then what about you and Xu Daikui? When are you getting a divorce?"

"You said last time that you were being considerate, but dragging this out like this isn't a solution."

Zhou Yanci said irritably, "I just returned to China, and now that I'm going through a divorce, it will affect the group."

"Alright, but don't keep me waiting too long. No matter which of the two sisters you like, you're not getting any younger, it's time to have a child soon."

Wen Yayun spoke angrily again.

At the hospital, after everyone had left, Xu Daikui immediately took Xu Meng in her arms for a full-body checkup.

Seeing the worry on her mother's face, Xu Meng quickly picked up her pen and wrote down a sentence.

"Mom, I'm okay. Hao Hao only tried to kiss me, he didn't hit me."

"That's good. Let's go home then, and I'll call your teacher to let them know."

Xu Meng nodded.

"I'll take you back."

Shen Jun felt sorry for not arriving in time, so he volunteered to carry Xu Meng away.

Xu Daikui had no choice but to follow them and call Teacher Cao.

"Mengmeng's parents, you don't need to explain. Just now, Mr. and Mrs. Jin came to the school to apologize. And Mengmeng's father is actually Mr. Zhou. You are Mrs. Zhou, why didn't you say so earlier? No wonder I said Mengmeng is so outstanding at such a young age, it's all thanks to her genes."

Upon hearing Mengmeng's background, Teacher Cao's expression changed drastically.

Xu Daikui wanted to explain, but the words stuck in her throat.

She was afraid that if she explained that her child had nothing to do with Zhou Yanci, Mengmeng would not speak and would be treated differently by the teacher in the future.

We can only make use of Mrs. Zhou's status for now.

"Well, it's good that they apologized. Teacher Cao, then please take good care of our Mengmeng in the future."

"Okay, no problem, please don't worry."

Teacher Cao knew Zhou Yanci's abilities. Their kindergarten had always been unable to break into the top ranks in the city. If they could curry favor with Zhou Yanci, then the year-end selection of outstanding kindergartens would be a piece of cake for him.

So, after hanging up the phone, she used her connections to find out Zhou Yanci's private number.

From now on, she will regard him as Mengmeng's most important guardian.

This way, if anything happens at school, Mengmeng can contact Zhou Yanci.

Back in the rented apartment, Mengmeng was already asleep in the car.

Shen Jun carried her to the bed. After they came out, Xu Daikui greeted him with a smile, "Dr. Shen, come and have a cup of tea."

This was Shen Jun's first time visiting her place, and he looked around.

Although small, it is very clean and tidy.

"Thanks."

He took the water and asked, "Why did Zhou Yanci come just now? And why was he protecting you?"

When Xu Daikui hears his name now, her expression remains completely unmoved.

She said calmly, "Perhaps it was just a coincidence that I was passing by. Zhou Yanci's mother values ​​the reputation of the Zhou family the most. Since we haven't gone through the divorce procedures yet, we are still considered members of the Zhou family. Naturally, they won't let me suffer any losses or affect the reputation of their Zhou family."

"All right."

Shen Jun also knew that Zhou Yanci was cold-blooded and ruthless, and it was impossible for him to extend a chivalrous hand just because of Xu Daikui herself.

"Oh, right, there's one more thing. Your sister came to see me a while ago, saying she's going to be nominated for next year's Young Medical Expert and wants me to vote for her. What do you think of her medical skills?"

Shen Jun didn't know Xu Jiaojiao well either. She had only been at the hospital for two months and he hadn't heard of her diagnosing any patients.

Upon hearing Xu Jiaojiao's name, Xu Daikui's expression turned cold, and she initially wanted to say that she didn't know anything about her.

But then I remembered that she actually knew absolutely nothing about medicine and had impersonated me. She was just a quack doctor with a certificate, and who knows, maybe she even bought it.

Out of a sense of responsibility for life, she still offered a reminder.

"Her grades in her major courses in school were just average, and I haven't heard of her achieving anything in recent years. If it were me, I wouldn't vote for her."

"Okay, I understand."

Shen Jun made up his mind.

Neither of them expected that Xu Jiaojiao would later harbor such a strong desire for revenge.
